INFAMOUS (2006)

Certification15 Our Rating

1959 Manhattan was a party, and none of the glitterati glittered brighter than Truman Capote. Then he saw a story in The New York Times: "Wealthy Farmer, 3 of Family Slain" and the party ended for Capote. He plunged into the murder case that inspired his great non-fiction novel 'In Cold Blood' and led him into a strange and impassioned relationship with one of the two killers. 'Infamous' is a fine re-imagining of events and if not for Seymour Hoffman's mesmerising performance in the very similar find out more...

A fascinating biopic of Francis Bacon, concentrating on his relationship with George Dyer, a burglar whom he caught in his house and promptly seduced, whose amorality and innocence he found attractive and whom he introduced to his Soho pals. Dyer's bouts with depression, his drinking, pill popping and nightmares strain the relationship in this clash between the arty, boozy Soho set and the East End criminal fraternity, as does his pain with Bacon's casual infidelities. Bacon paints and talks wit find out more...
MILK (2008)

Certification15 Our Rating

An intelligent, thoughtful, highly engaging biopic of Harvey Milk, the San Francisco based idealist, who became the first openly gay activist to run for political office in the US. Before his assassination Milk was a leading cog in the battle for civil rights for the gay community, as in the 1978 fight against Proposition 6, which could have banned gay and lesbian individuals from teaching in schools. The story may have been a terriby tragedy, but the tone of the movie is upbeat and vibrant, Gus find out more...

This touching film is a biography of gay '60s playwright Joe Orton. In his teens Orton was befriended by the older more reserved Kenneth Halliwell and, while the two began a relationship, it's fairly obvious that it wasn't all about sex. Orton loved the dangers of bath-houses and liaisons in public restrooms, while Halliwell, not as charming or attractive as Orton, didn't fare so well in those environs. While both longed to become writers, it was Orton who achieved fame, his plays "Loot" and "Wh find out more...

A brilliant biopic of Quentin Crisp the self-styled "Stately Queen of England", an effeminate gay, a flamboyant exhibitionist, sparkling wit and a character who gave more pleasure to the world than the world gave to him. Played brilliantly and with pathos by the versatile Hurt. find out more...
WILDE (1997)

Certification15 Our Rating

Stunning biopic of Oscar Wilde, with Stephen Fry giving an exceptional performance as the controversial playwright. Against the austere and seedy backdrop of Victorian London, the rise and fall of the legendary wit is told with sensitivity and gutsiness, with a storming performance from Jude Law as the pouting, petulant Lord Douglas. Fry is dazzling, portraying both vulnerability and flagrant impertinence with equal aplomb, as he marauds kamikaze-like through London's outraged literary society. find out more...
